sweet Potatoes in rotation with other
S farm crops-thls is one of the
?eynotes of success. They yield a fair
crop on the so-called "worn out", to?
hac?o lands and are especially .valuable

The usual depth of plowing in pre
paring land for corn will prove satis
factory, for sweet potatoes. Local con
ditions will determine -whether the

method of culture isr used. Many grow
ers secure splendid results by -using
a comparatively high' ridge.

Sore definite. There is not a candidate
who i confident of vinn'n;hr
not a manager who is confident of win
ning. There are men eled
make nominating speeches who have
not any confidence in the success of
their candidates; there ere men sched
uled to make nominating speeches who
are spending the day in nmw "
sion looking to the selection of a can
didate other than fce one they repre
eent. There is no candidate who is
adding to the number of his delegates
There ia nothing, definite; nothing that
takes form. Under these circumstances
your correspondent has a strong dis
taste to share in the predictions that
are so cpmmon. But it would be rea
sonably safe to say these things.
Somewhere in the early , ballots there
is likely to be a tug of war between
Wood and Lowden. In the deciding of
that tug of war the delegates can
be divided roughly into four groups.
There are about 300 delegate who are,
in. varying degrees, loyal to Wood.
. There are about 250 delegates who are,
in varrine deereea. loyal to Lowden.
n.. r about 250 delegate who
i-nmnnu what may roughly be called
the 'balance of power, group. They
are delegates unlnstructed, without
nlMleea and without personal prefer
ence. They come in little groups from
arious states. They have been
broneht together by a few of the old
enard leaders who have an understand
ing; the understanding is very .loose
and intangible. It is not In favor of any
candidate and goes no farther than
merely an assent to act as a group
under a common leadership. ' As the
opening day of the convention ; ap
proaches this group tends to grow in
compactness and cohetiveness. It is
increasingly reasonable to expect that
this group will be able to exercise the
balance of power. The fourth group of
delegates consists of about 200 who are
.entirely individual in their leanings
and who are acting independently. In
this tug of war between Wood and
Lowden, the tendency will be for all
to unite against Wood. The whole
convention will become, for a few bal-
' lots,. Wood and anti-Wood. In this tug
of war it is comparatively easy to fore
see a time when Wood, with delegates
j that he has and delegates that he may
get out of the foffrth group, may reach
as high as 400 or 420. It is possible
but not easy, to see how he can get
enough to nominate him, If the balance
of power group remains steadfast
against him.
If Wood is prevented from winning,
.the balance of - power group will turn
to dark horses in place of Lowden. If
they regard their situation as danger
ous, they will name Lowden and be
done with it. If they have sufficient
confidence in their power they will
probably pick another. Even this ten
tative outline is so full of qualifications
that one hesitates to set it down. To
go farther than this would be to deal
wholly in the field of eurmise.

A fertilizer formula cannot be recr
ommended that will have general ap
plication. Every grower should make'
a study of the requirements of his soil
and apply the fertilizer-that will give
the best results. A complete fertilizer
should-be used, the quantity depending
entirely on local conditions. -

Poisoning 4ias failed to kill the pest

do the 16b and make it "possible for
oil mills to handle seed from infected

Careless Setting Often Proves1
Serious Handicap.
successful commercial growers of
sweet potatoes claim that" careful
transplanting of well grown , plants is
one of the secrets of success with this
crop. Careless setting often damages
the crop very materially by the loss uf
a stand and the slow weak growth that
follows. The secret of good transplant
ing, depends upon putting the plants
deep into the soil with the roots of the
plant in close contact with moist earth
and then firmly pressing the . soil to
the plant. .
Several hours. before the plants are
drawn fhe bed should be thoroughly
watered. In pulling plants, hold . tho.
seed potato down with one hand while
the slips are being 'removed- Onlv
